Fertilizer Emission Factors (% N)

Emission Factors

• Natural soils – source or sink

• Soil emission factors adjusted to account for soil

conditions (Potter, et al., 2003)

• EFadj = EF * (1-M){1/[1+10(0.09+2730/T-c*pH)]}

– M = soil moisture

– T = soil temp (K)

– C = constant determines sensitivity to pH (=1.3)

Activity Data

• Livestock headcounts – National Ag Services Statistics (NASS, 2003)

• Fertilized usage – Assoc. of American Plant Food Control Officers (AAPFCO, 2003); USDA; NASS

• Native soils – Land cover acreage (NLCD)• Domestic – 2000 US Census; Pet per capita ratios

from Dickson et al., 1991

Temporal Allocation

• Livestock

– Monthly profiles recommended by Chinkin et al.

(2003)

– Diurnal profiles based on Russell & Cass (1986)

Ei [2.36(Ti-273)/10] ViA

Ei = hourly emission rate

A = daily total emission rate

Ti = hourly ambient air temperature (K)

Vi = hourly wind speed (m/s)

Temporal Allocation

• Fertilizers– Monthly variation from fertilizer usage data – Diurnal profiles based on Russell & Cass

(1986)

• Domestic Sources– Temporally invariant

Temporal Allocation

• Native Soils

– Temporal variation based on environmental

parameters

– EFadj = EF * (1-M){1/[1+10(0.09+2730/T-c*pH)]}

• M = soil moisture

• T = soil temp (K)

• C = constant determines sensitivity to pH (=1.3)

Domestic Population

Environmental Data

• Soil pH– STATSGO

• Soil Moisture – 2002 36-km MM5 modeling results

• Temperatures, wind speeds – 2002 36-km MM5 modeling results

GIS-Based Emissions Model Development

• Designed to :– treat relationship of ammonia emissions to environmental

variables (wind speed, temperatures, soil moisture & pH)– incorporate high resolution spatial data (LU/LC databases;

population density; geo-coded point sources)– incorporate detailed source classification schemes

• Based on Arc/INFO GIS• Flexible input data sources/formats; easily modified

input tabular data (activity data, EF, spatial surrogate relationships)

• Modular & efficient processing capabilities• Intuitive user interface

Geospatial Data

• Land Use/Land Cover (LULC)– NLCD LU/LC coverages -- GIS rastor data; high spatial

resolution (30 m); 21 LU/LC classifications for land use

• Soil pH – STATSGO - PSU

• Population – 2000 US Census data assembled by EPA
